kaffe and blt rpms in RedHat and Mandrake (was Re: Kaffe)

[Pietro Terna]

        Hi Marcus and all,

        with the help of a student of mine, Matteo Morini 
<address@hidden>, I'm point our the following remarks aboout 
kaffe's rpms.

        In Mandrake 7.0 javaswarm doesn't work with the original 
kaffe-1.0.5-3mdk; it is necessaty to replace it with kaffe-1.0.5-6 from 
Transvirtual (www.transvirtual.com).

        In RedHat 6.0/6.1 javaswarm doesn't work with the original 
kaffe-1.0.5-3; newly, it is necessaty to replace it with kaffe-1.0.5-6 of 
Transvirtual (www.transvirtual.com).

        In Mandrake 7.0 it is necessary to 'downgrade' blt from the 
original blt-2.4i-8mdk to the RedHat 6.1 blt-2.4g-4. This downgrading is 
necessary to have heatbugs and jheatbugs working properly when we place the 
label of a bug into the graph function in the observer probe.

        Yours, Pietro
